History[]
The Merciful One was born at an unknown point in Xadia and became acquainted with Aaravos after his daughter Leola was found guilty of breaking the cosmic order by giving magic to humans. They wished to show mercy to Aaravos and Leola but could not oppose the Stern One and the other Startouch Elves. They then consoled Aaravos after his tears created the Sea of the Castout. They told Aaravos that everyone is stardust held together by love for an instant.[1][2]
The Merciful One's compassion towards Aaravos was eventually commemorated in the form of statues that acted as gates to the Sea of the Castout.[3]
